Deskjet 3845 section name marker in the INF error

Has anyone seen the error "section name marker in the INF is not complete or
does not exist on a line by itself " or know what it means? I get the install
done as far as the HP side is concerned but in Windows XP when found new
hardware it says that it could not complete with the above error. I have
tried many ways to install the driver but with no success. The printer
appears in device Manager as a hidden item and says the driver is not
installed. If I install the printer on another PC and connect to the printer
on my home network I can print. However i dont want to have two PC's running
just to print! PC spec is ASUS M/b 2.6 ghz processor 1.5gb RAM and SATA
drive. XP Pro with SP3. I can install all sorts of things in this PC
Graphic Cards, wireless cards Sound Cards, USB Cards HP SCanner etc with no
problem. Just the HP Deskjet 3845 is causing an issue. Beeen trying for a
week to resolve this but cant seem to find a solution

Any ideas?

Thanks
